Recently upgraded to the new chromium version of Edge.

The pen & ink settings aren't the same as the last version.

Not able to change the pen color, pen size, select pencil or highlighter if I open a pdf file in edge & try to write on it.

What happened to the choices?

Are there settings to change them?

Do I have to do a screen shot first?

Used to be able to write in real time on an open pdf file.

    This is STUPID!  Can't remove the update!  Can't use my pen feature in browser etc...  Well I found a fix for some that I'm going to do.  If you just bought your computer, like I did, and within the 15 days, just take it back to Best Buy return it, buy a new one and then disable updates!!!

    Hey, this is another one facing the same problem. 

    Tried the methodology mentioned above but got stuck into the uninstallation process.

    System isn't allowing the uninstallation off the PC!

    Please let me know how were you able to get away through this mess.

    I have the same issue with you with new Edge Chromium version. Now I just install XODO extension it's free and give almost exact/better user experiences compare to old version of Edge.

    I am not able to uninstall edge / its update. The uninstall button is disabled. How can I revert to the older version of edge, where the pen was working perfectly alright.

    I have sent feedback to the team, and you can too, using Alt+Shift+I. If you would like to receive the latest Edge updates (for when this feature is available) you can use one of the Insider builds. Link:

    For now, the only thing that you can do is use an extension. I am personally quite happy with Paint Editor on the Chrome Web Store. Of course, you need Edge Chromium to install it. If you do a quick search on the Chrome Web Store or the Microsoft Edge Insider Marketplace, there are other options too.

    MS Edge Marketplace

    Chrome Web Store

    I hope that this has helped someone.


    Standard warning:

    This extension appears to be providing helpful, friendly tools. In most cases where you see this message I have personally downloaded and verified the code. However, be vigilant in downloading: always inspect the website and description to confirm that it is not a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Product).
